Financially, I am fairly stable with strong credit (730+), and working a entry level tech recruiting job allowing me to save roughly a quarter of my salary after bills, entertainment, and etc.

I have been studying very hard for about 5 years, full time, while being bedridden and I have about 30 years of construction management experience as well as having as real estate broker license for about 30 years and a college degree in business that emphasized real estate with honors and being born and raised in Dallas, Texas.I think all of that background qualifies this 62 year old to be listened to and believed fairly qualified when it comes to real estate and all of what I've said is just a part of my experience qualities. 

Fairly new to STR game.

You will have to have some skin in the game.

Seller is looking to move fairly quickly and wants to price agressively.

I want to be able to offer a fair price to the seller and a good deal to the buyer while making some money myself, but I'm not sure how to proceed.

I wasn't fond of this considering it is a one bedroom, but I wanted to be as fair as I could.

@Ritch Bonisa Thank you for the wisdom and don't worry I have thick skin and an open mind.

Having your own skin in the game will also help make the deal more attractive to any investor.

I just finished a small office deal as a result of meeting a guy at a street fair.
